A message from the Naming Police:

Did you know the Narragansetts were the enemies of the Pokanoket who lived on this land before the English? They never lived over here. Why would we name the station after them? Or, was it named after the beer company?

All kidding aside, the Lewins should buzz off. They don't even pay taxes here. They don't even know that Warren is not a city!

Let's honor those who dedicate thousands of hours to public safety, and keep our tax bills lower! I'm with Capt. Calenda.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
